As a photographer, I have lots of images. But for me the best way to return to happy times is food. The smell and taste of the amazing food I had there, is what transports me back, in an instant and with a force that my mind who is hosting all these memories, is not capable of doing. So food it is! I hope you will join me on this new journey!
